Foraging about (шаря кругом; to forage — добывать продовольствие, искать), I found a bottle with some brandy left, for Hands (я нашел бутылку, где осталось немного бренди, для Хендса); and for myself I routed out some biscuits (для себя я нашел сухари; to rout out — находить, доставать), some pickled fruits (маринованные фрукты), a great bunch of raisins (большой куль изюму; bunch — связка, пучок, пачка), and a piece of cheese (и кусок сыру). With these I came on deck (с этими /вещами/ я поднялся на палубу), put down my own stock behind the rudder-head (положил свои запасы позади головы руля;

stock — запас, сырье; ассортимент, наличность), and well out of the coxswain’s reach (и вне пределов досягаемости = подальше от рулевого), went forward to the water-breaker (подошел к бочонку с водой), and had a good, deep drink of water (и напился вдоволь: «имел хороший глубокий глоток воды»), and then, and not till then, gave Hands the brandy (и затем, только после этого, дал Хендсу бренди).

He must have drunk a gill before he took the bottle from his mouth (он, должно быть, выпил четверть пинты /0,142 л/, прежде чем оторвал бутылку ото рта).

I went into the cellar; all the barrels were gone, and of the bottles a most surprising number had been drunk out and thrown away. Certainly, since the mutiny began, not a man of them could ever have been sober.

“Aye (да),” said he, “by thunder, but I wanted some o’ that (/клянусь/ громом, я хотел этого = это-то и было мне нужно)!”

I had sat down already in my own corner and begun to eat (я уже сел в свой угол и начал есть).

“Much hurt (сильно ранены)?” I asked him (спросил я его).

He grunted, or, rather I might say, he barked (он промычал, вернее, пролаял).

“If that doctor was aboard (если бы тот доктор был на борту),” he said, “I’d be right enough in a couple of turns (я был бы в порядке в два оборота = он бы меня сразу поставил на ноги); but I don’t have no manner of luck, you see (но у меня совсем нет удачи = мне не везет, видишь ли), and that’s what’s the matter with me (вот такая со мной неприятность; matter — сущность, предмет; трудность). As for that swab, he’s good and dead, he is (а что до того пройдохи, он мертв, да; swab — швабра, матрос /ругательное/),” he added, indicating the man with the red cap (он добавил, указывая на человека с красным колпаком). “He warn’t no seaman, anyhow (он в любом случае не был моряком = никудышный был моряк). And where mought you have come from

(а ты откуда мог взяться; mought = might)?”
